@divadiva2222222 @DiversityHire right, but it’s not being used in a vacuum. A phrase being an oxymoron doesn’t make it not sensible, it’s just highlighting that the words are contradictory, but they still clearly communicate meaning to anyone that isn’t being needlessly literal and pedantic

@wev670 @DiversityHire Yeah… but that doesn’t make the term any more sensible in a vaccum. The term oxymoron exists for that exact reason. Point is, solo date makes no sense. You can say what you want but it’s not a date. You just went out

@divadiva2222222 @DiversityHire right and oxymorons are still valid terms that we fully understand and regularly use. It being oxymoronic doesn’t make it any less valid of a term is my point

@divadiva2222222 @DiversityHire Well that’s actually how the English language works believe it or not. Combining other words with an existing word can change the definition of the word. “Solo date” can be just as valid a term as “jumbo shrimp” or “deafening silence”

@wev670 @DiversityHire That would make sense if the term date wasn’t related to two people meeting up. Putting solo before doesn’t change the definition of it. That’s an oxymoron at that point

@divadiva2222222 @DiversityHire that’s exactly what makes it a date imo. Me just happening to do something alone vs me intentionally doing something alone. And this applies to regular dates too, the difference between hanging out with a romantic partner vs going on a date with them boils down to intentionality

@_Shummy_ It definitely would have been nice to see them become closer after s2, but I also think it makes sense that they didn’t.

@_Shummy_ Korra never grew up with them, they are characterized as being incredibly cold and antisocial, and their introduction to the show was them helping their father try to kill Korra. Them not interacting much makes perfect sense 😭

@SomaKazima2 I used to do this when I went to school out of state bc I would be back home for summers and most breaks so I did technically live in both locations just at different points during the year.

@teefortilly @TheBaddestMitch I’ve been saying this for years. So much handwringing about the stuff people do at weddings is unserious bc the whole point it’s a public and performative event. It’s fine to want to add more personal elements to that, but if you want performance free just go to the courthouse 😭

@skipppppy_art Ehh I don’t think the timing adds up. It would have been at least 40-50 years between Hama’s prison break and them raiding the southern water tribe so Katara’s mom would clearly be too young to be Hama. I do think them not taking prisoners is bc of Hama, but that’s it

@FangYi11101 @leowebbhk Like clarity in Ivy admissions would never really be about stats and more about “these are the kind of students (read: personalities) we are looking for”. Stats are just one measurement proxy that can be overcome if you craft a strong narrative that shows fit despite lower scores

@FangYi11101 @leowebbhk Tbf Harvard doesn’t want to say that because it isn’t true. This demand for American universities to list out the “minimum” requirements doesn’t make sense in practice bc there really aren’t many that are concrete. Like there are ppl at Harvard who got in with less than a 1480

This is a misunderstanding of the Oxford/Cambridge undergrad admissions system. You don’t automatically get in with a 1480 SAT and 5s on some APs — that’s the bare minimum to be considered for the interview round, where the real selection happens.
Marc Porter Magee 🎓@marcportermagee

Ironically, Oxford provides more clarity for American applicants than any elite US university. In order to apply, US students need to show that they have secured either 1) four APs at a 5, or 2) three APs at a 5 and either a 33 or above on the ACT or a 1480 or above on the SAT.

@arakkosuperstar I think it’s bc the series establishes it as a thing that only 2 ppl can do, so people end up grasping at straws to understand why. Bc yeah, if lava is just molten rock, earthbenders should be able to bend it as easily as waterbenders bend ice, but the show says otherwise

leo of arakko says 🔺RESIST🔺
honestly besides the fact that bending is spiritual, my main gripe with this theory is that all the elements are separate. you can’t “combine” them to make new ones like doodle god. lava is literally just hot rock. why people need it to have an explanation at all is beyond me
redranger1962@kiddkosher1

@DGSEZN @arakkosuperstar People are being weird but the rare combination of bloodline of earth and fire benders is much more satisfying than just “ oh well it’s rare”. Not sure why fans act like inherited traits are weird that’s exactly how bending and any talent would work

@lavish_alt this is killing me, I thought he was saying he was playing at a competition or tournament being hosted at the Louvre, not that he just brought a chess board to play outside by himself 😭. Fit is fire though

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth Bolin randomly unlocks it and is immediately able to go toe to toe with Ghazan. And yeah lava bending should be easy to earthbenders, but the show establishes it’s a rare and special ability so Bolin unlocking and mastering it with no training or build up is poor writing

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth I’m not saying she specifically learned it from the scroll, I’m saying they explicitly show her unlocking that ability in tandem with her generally becoming a better waterbending via the scrolls. And even then, she still has to go and train to become competent with healing

@arakkosuperstar likeee, I always thought it was just a kii. Young people call you old, old people call you young it’s just meaningless banter bc you will always be both young and old to someone. Finding out people get seriously distraught over that really blew me, like just laughh it’s ok 😭

@mell0wfan @belladonnafeli This! That access to over 10,000 years of history and experiences is what makes the Avatar the figure that they are. Without it, they’re just someone who happens to be able to bend 4 elements, which is impressive, but why would that alone make ppl listen to what they have to say

@belladonnafeli My biggest gripe comes from a place of someone who greatly values heritage. Korra had literal generations of wisdom, experience, and first-hand accounts of people from ages long since past and they got rid of it. It’s like taking a lit torch to thousands of years of oral history.

I’m sorry but we have to flay the writer who got rid of the avatar past lives. Not only was it half the reason Korra got hate needless hate, amongst other stuff. It was in fact very stupid for them to write that. Idc what anyone says.
